Ukrainian drones are targeting Russia's physical infrastructure supporting oil trade, while global financial market conditions have led to a sharp decline in gold prices. The price of crude oil has dropped significantly, with Brent crude hovering just above $70 per barrel and Urals crude reaching $60 per barrel. Gold, which had hit a historical high in January, has fallen below $4100 per ounce, its lowest level in seven months. Although neither pillar has completely collapsed, both are severely destabilized, potentially deepening Russia's economic crisis. Long-term attacks by Ukraine are focused on refineries, fuel depots, pumping stations, and railway lines crucial for transforming crude oil into usable energy. Damage to facilities like the Kaptynya refinery has disrupted operations, with Reuters suggesting the plant could remain closed until year-end. Russia’s refining capacity has reached its lowest level in 17 years, impacting military operations, daily life, and other sectors.
